    In Loving memory of my dear friend Daniel Wayne Smith "Daniel-Son" (Jan. 2, 1986 - Sept. 10, 2006). You are now an "Angel in Heaven watching over us". Your kindness, sensitivity, and innocence will be deeply missed but, never forgotten. Your spirit lives on forever. Our memory of you will never fade.
    Anna Nicole Smith (aka Vickie Lynn Hogan-Smith-Marshall) (Nov. 28th 1967 - Feb. 8th 2007) In loving memory of my bestfriend...My "Sagitarian-Mermaid-Sister". Your sense of adventure and your free spirit made life a blast! Your giving nature and childlike naivity made you vulnerable. Your passing was premature, surreal, and totally tragic! I pray for justice! The world is truly at a loss! You brought love, laughter, smiles, and good times everywhere you went! You are loved by many, will be missed by all, and never ever forgotten. Your legacy will live on forever. You became a true American Icon... The modern day Marilyn Monroe. You were destined to be in Hollywood... even if it turned out to be Hollywood, Fl. You are now flying or swimming up in Heaven with the other Angels... Daniel W. Smith, J. Howard Marshall lll, Pierce E. Marshall, Marilyn Monroe, & Bob Marley...etc. One day soon you will have your own Pink STAR on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

    			 THE ANNA NICOLE SONG
    
           YOU'D LIGHT UP A ROOM WITH THE GLOW FROM YOUR EYES
           AND YOU MADE THEM DREAM FOR A WHILE
           IN THE COLD LAND OF LIFE WITH IT'S WARS AND IT'S WOES
           YOU GAVE THEM WARMTH WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE
    										
           GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL - ANNA NICOLE
           WELCOME TO HEAVEN  NOW THE LORD'S IN CONTROL
           SAY HELLO TO THE FATHER  THERE'S YOUR SON
           NOW WATCH OVER YOUR DAUGHTER  YOUR BATTLE IS DONE
           BUT ITS SAD
           THE WORLD DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAD
    
           THEY TOOK YOU THROUGH PAIN AND TRIED BREAKING YOUR HEART
           IN WAYS THAT JUST WORDS WOULDN'T TELL
           THE DAYS OF DISTRUST AND THE BACK - STABBING FRIENDS
           TOOK AN ANGEL OF LOVE AND JUST DRAGGED HER THROUGH HELL
    																		  
    			      (CHORUS)
    				       
           WE COULDNT LEAVE YOU
           DOWN THERE ALL ALONE
           TO LET THEM ALL JUDGE YOU
           WHEN NO ONE COULD THROW THE FIRST STONE
                                  (CHORUS)
           IT'S SO SAD
           THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAD
